Last Saturday, I lost one of my best mates in racing, when Martin Finnegan was killed at the Tandragee Road Races.
Finbar was without doubt the most exciting racer on the Irish roads scene - ex-motocrosser who loved to make his superbike do things it wasn't supposed to! [link] I'm gonna miss him, badly. |

And he was one of the few people braving the MVs, using some of his own funds too.
Must be truly gutting to lose a friend, it's bad enough when it's a rider you don't know from Adam and only appreciate them as a racing fan.
My thoughts go out to his family...

This was no exception.
I only met him the once, but he was very kind & polite & took the time from working on his bikes (V-Trans Hondas that year) to sign my art work.
I will never forget the black lines at Ramsey hairpin as he locked the back wheel & "backed it in". Bloody Marvelous!
Top rider, top bloke. He'll be greatly missed in & out of racing.
So sorry for your loss.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. One little piece of good news; was in Dublin last Friday for the Supporter Club's fundraiser for Rachael and Brenda. They raised around €200,000!!

I have a painting of Martin on the V-Trans Honda that i wanted to get signed by as many riders as possible at this years TT. Then i would donate it to the trust fund. But i got 2 signatures (Milky Quayle & Les Shand) and walked up to Guy Martin for a sig, but he wouldn't sign any of the pieces i had there. Just refused to sign anything. So i gave up. Very disappointed.
I will try again at the Southern 100 in a few weeks. But I'll avoid Guy Martin this time.
